Gots: An affirmation of the way to approach grammar instruction and incorporate into our daily existing workshop structure.
Wants: Some examples of authentic reading assessments that we can chat about together.

# data[].attributes.body
Got:  A clear idea of how grammar instruction can work in G6 using mentor sentences, including how we can assess these standards. Also, got a sense of where to start with the standards we have, as opposed to just a sinking feeling that we need to somehow teach everything all at once or the universe will just sort of collapse.
Want: Authentic assessments for reading that feel like they will fit just as seamlessly into our current practice.

# data[].attributes.body

# data[].attributes.body
Got: A better idea of how we can introduce grammar in context withing the R/W workshops.

Want: more information on how ELLs are best served in the workshop model.

# data[].attributes.body
Got four specific categories to frame all "Writing about reading" strategies that I teach in mini-lessons and conferencing.

I want to identify and explain these categories to the students. When I ask  students to consider "what kind of writing best suits my thinking?" we can use these categories to guide our discussions and decisions.

# data[].attributes.body

Wants: More collaborative time to learn together :)

# data[].attributes.body
Got the architecture for what small groups entail and a strategy to help me give students space to practice what was covered --- literally get up and leave after I am done and come back and check on them later

I want to collect data on the a few skills that students may need coaching on and offer them the choices for these "small group stations" and identify any student who should take a specific one and send them a private message to let them know that I just know their work would soar if they attended a specific small group.

# data[].attributes.body
Gots: Some new ideas e.g. have students sign up and small groups can be based on almost anything, not just what is being assessed on the rubric.
Wants: We use Seravallo's Reading and Writing Strategy books - but sometimes the teaching points are a little juvenile for eighth graders. Do you have any other suggestions for texts to support small groups and conferences?

# data[].attributes.body
Got: Great ideas for how students can create reminders or visual cues of small group strategies.
Want: I'm going to echo Tania's point here. I use Servallo's books often and they are fantastic, but having another source at my fingertips would be helpful.

PYP in Practice - Transdisciplinary Learning: All Mixed Up

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
Why 'All Mixed Up'? Transdisciplinary learning is certainly mixing up the disciplines and how we shift from thinking about each subject area in isolation. There's a lot of confusion about how transdisciplinary learning differs from multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary learning. For me,
